Work Life Balance Is A Myth: The "See-Saw" Method | Rhonda Lavoie Podcast


Listen Later

Is "Work-Life Balance" actually making you miserable? If you feel like you are constantly failing to keep the scales level, it’s because you are chasing a myth. In this episode, we expose why the "50/50" split is a recipe for burnout and why you should aim for Harmony instead.

We dive deep into the concept of "Continuous Partial Attention"—that exhausted state where you are physically present with your family but mentally checking emails under the dinner table. You’ll learn why high performers need to "oscillate" rather than flatline, and how to use the "See-Saw Method" to ditch the guilt and get your focus back.


Plus, a special listen to the new podcast theme music written and recorded by Wade and Tan Fehr!
